'Now would you stand aside before I shoot myself?' Whilst visually fun (surprisingly, the special effects still manage to kinda hold up) and exciting with a story that almost makes absolute sense, the Doctor Who movie does have some problems when it comes to pace and referencing past events (some things that occur may anger and frustrate members of the fanbase). Eric Roberts hams it up as if he's Porky Pig as The Master whilst Paul McGann makes for a fun Doctor, but he ultimately does not reach the heights of his predecessor, the lovely Sylvester McCoy, of whom is in the beginning of the film, but unfortunately and inevitably leaves us for the sake of the film. Jelly baby?
